THE.LONDON JOURNAL& DAlLit EXTRACTS PROM THE MORNING PAPEP,S, JULY 11, 1826. [THE TIM? ]. On Thursday last the. Session of the French Legisla tive Chambers were closed,—not by a speech from , the Throne or from Commissioners, as with us, hut by a Royal Ordinance. The Chamber of Deputies had been virtually prorogued about three weeks before, and the greater part of its Members, had , retired to their estates and their re spective avocations. The Upper -flouse, which has evin ced most independence, spirit, and activity, during the Session, maintauied its character to the end, and would probably have carried some amendment on the very last I measure to it, if such a proceeding would not have ren dered necessary the re-assembling of the other Chamber. As it was, the speeches delivered by several noble Peers in support of the Greek cause, and in favour of the liberties of the Gidlican Church, called forth important explana tions, and led to the disclostue of interesting facts on the part of the Ministry. , The letter from the Commander of the French squadron in the Archipelago , read by M. de Villele to the Chamber on the last day but one of its sit tings, need scarcely be pointed out as deserving that cha racter. At the end of the Session, it must be admitted that whatever may be its results on the Statute-book or the Bulletin des Lois, it has been distinguished by many animated and some useful discussions, The Ministry have been forced at every step to defend their conduct; and the public, at lean, have been instructed in facts, and have been enabled to judge on which side truth and reason lay. In one important project, which produced an excite ment in France for which we can scarcely conceive it to have been an adequate cause--namely, the primogeniture project—the Administration was defeated, and the friends of democratic institutions had the satisfaction of iilmninat log in honour of a Chamber which they would formerly have denounced as an assembly of aristocrats. The promp titude, dexterity, and talent which the Chief Minister has displayed during the whole session, must have created a stronger impression in his favour of his character as a debater, without any reference to the cause in which his oratory was employed. It is , Whispered in the political eircles that the late treat of peace with the Burmese, with respect to which such extraordinary bad faith was shown, was,not entered into with the cordial concurrence eithercof the Indian Govern ment or of Sir A. Campbell, but that it was the conse quence of pereniptory orders from home to leave no expe dient untried to put an end to the war. Very. serious ap prehensions at the unexpected prolongation of the contest, had, it appears, infected the Councils of the Board of Controul, and particularly the gentleman who is at the head of that Board. They ought to have reflected that there was no safe retreat from such a contest without hav ing first effected the complete humiliation of the enemy, and that, however the policy of entering into the war was to be deprecated, there was no alternative but to pursue it with vigour. This policy was perfectly understood on the spot; and as Ministers will likewise have become convinced of this; by the late treacherous conduct of the Burmese, we may expect to hear that the war will be prosecuted with fair 'more vigour than ever. Unfortunately, a mate• trial portion of the favourable season for military opera tions has been lost by the pretended negotiation., The treaty, in fact,,, , was found in the camp at Mellown, not having even been sent up . to. Urnmerapoera for the King s signature.—lbid. [run MORNINO CHRONICLE.] There is nothing but complaint among the Foreigners and Foreign Ministers, against the new Mien Law, whiett has just come into operation. 'lnstead of being en advam tage to Aliens, this law has, it stems, placed them in a situation infinitely worse. than that in which they were be fore its passing; and the. Foreign Ministers are teazed to death with applications froth the subjects of their respec tive governments, - unable, -after they have once enter ed this classic land of liberty, to discover how they can possibly leave it. It seems that, by the new act, the alien must deliver his passport from his own Government on landing on our shores; and on his leaving this country, lie must state at the Alien Office the port from which he is to sail, and his passport is forwarded - to that port.. Un fortunately for the poor foreigner, lie cannot be, received into any country of the Continent, without having his passport vise by the Mribassador of that country at our court; so that when he receives the passport at the port from which he projected embarking, it is of no earthly use to him. When he mentions this difficulty at the, Alien Office, he is told, we have nothing to do with. foreign countries; here is the law, which is our guide, and we must obey it. Again, Foreigners are obliged not merely to communicate with the Alien Officeevery half year, but they are obliged, on every change of residence, to give notice of it under! penalty. Should information be wished for respecting any Foreigner, and a notice to that effect be put into The London Gazette (a publication which no foreigner ever would think of reading),• he . is obliged to attend to that notice, Under a penalty. • SeSieral other vexatious provisions are introduced, which can serve no other purpose than making, the residence of. foreigners in this country as uncomfortable as possible. We are in clined to believe that Mr. Peel never could intend sub jecting. foreigners to all thi„e unnecessary trouble, and even rendering it almost impossible for them to return to, the Continent ; hut the= business flues been thrown on some underling, Who, again, has thrown it.on his own under ling, for it is an understood matter, that, every man should shift theptibliC business from own shoulders, if he possibly can. Except the Lord Chancellor happen to look into a Bill, and detect what isnisjettionable in it, no amount of absurdity will prevent its passing into a law; for it is deemed (like enough that each Member attend his onii Bills, But it cannot be expeeted . that the Lord Chancellor should be on the alert to pick holes in the Bills of all his colleagues; it is a great deal if he attend to the measures of those to whom he is more particularly Partial, as Mr. fluskissou and Mr. Canning for instance. Somethini Omit. ha dine to -secure. the country from the pestilence of this blundering ',THE MORNING HERALD.] Nothing astonishes us more, than that sensible parents 1 should submit, as they do, to the plunder whieh is prac tised upon their), through their sons, at our two Univer sities. No One scipiainted with the subject ran doubt for a moment that at icwt. one-fourth Of the expellees of y o u n g men at these " seminarietiof sound leaming and religious education," consists of downright actual imposition, of which the tutors, who might to column! it, actually par take ,and. cooniye at. The Heads of Ilounes, too, who are mighty good sort of people , in their war,Think this a matter entirety out, of their sphere. But if it is so, we should like to ask them what is within it ? They, like other good'ehristians, hive learned by rote in ,their in fancy, that part of their religious obligation, is " to do th e ir duty in that state of life to which it has pleased God to call them." But do they suppose. that God has called them to eat, drink, and sleeps—to doze away their lives in listless . i na nity ? Or arc they not rather called to a high.ealling--to one, in which, if they do their duty fear lessly and conseientiously, they may be of infinite service to therising generation, and to mankind.? And is it fit or rkeettt—(loe-S it become it Ministe of the Gospel, 'which 'all, or most of these people are, r to preside over scenes of plunder arid dissipation, where thwhet%e tclud st e hopneeds es of manta are prematu re ly blighted, and the of raw ruin are sown in minds iii Which seedtrof virtue, honour, and religion had been ptevionsly Plaitte4? his the,fashinii to suppose that those who condemn (tie ex . tretne ato generally prone to rush into the tither.

Is it not absurd to suppose that an hour's attend- - g ' ance upon a lecture, and even that often disregarded, is all that a college tutor has to attend to ? It is clear that such is not his own interpretation of his duty, by the care he takes that the parent shall pay for that, and every thing else. But what sort of auditors are these who suffer infants to be plundered by the wholesale, and who are strongly suspected of pocketing a good per tentage upon the extravagance they thus encourage and connive at ? When we hear, too, of the persons who have charge of these matters, and who are thus obviously abusing the most sacred trust, being so warm in favour of Protestant ism, and so doubly warm in their fears of Popery, may we not ask them if they would not more . effectually serve the Church of England by training up its future Ministers in better principles and* habits, than in the over zeal which they show to defend the Establishment which they are thus themselves employed in virtually un dermining ? How far the mere study of Greek and Latin, and the abstruse points of philosophy, qualify men for the active duties of life, may be made a question; but it is not one which we mean to agitate; - but one thing is' quite clear, that any system of education which disregards morals, and leaves youth to ascend the rugged paths of life by a road which leads neither to virtue nor happiness, and which is bounded neither by natural affection, econo my, nor `prudence, and which, when they arrive at its termination, they leave contaminated and not improved, must be one deserving of the highest censure, and cannot too soon be made the subject of a complete and general reform. - [THE BRITISH PRESS.] .. The calamities into which this. country has repeatedly fallen in consequence of over-production, have been owing to causes which lie much deeper than any' of those partial cirturnstances to which they have generally been ascribed. Nothing can be more'evident than the fact that all coin- . modities derive their real value from their capability of Ministering to the necessities of man; and although there are some commodities of little use, which derive an artifi cial -value from their rarity, while there are • others of in dispensable use, which are of no value, on account of their abundance; yet necessaries must be considered as the only true measures of value, because things possessing only artificial value can never. acquire any importance, but as a means of procuring necessaries in exchange for them, or as luxuries, after men are in full possession of rill necessa ries; so that the abundance of necessaries, - in fact, causes and increases the value of all other commodities. As this view is new, it may require- some farther explanation. — Water is the most necessary and the most abundant pro duct of nature; but it is of .no. exchangeable value, at least in this country. If water, however, were scarce, Fold would be of less value ; because a large quantity of it would be given for an indispensable necessary, and con sequently the person possessing a certain quantity of the precious metal would be incapable of procuring so large a quantity of other commodities. The value,, there fore, of a certain quantity. of gold would be diminished by the sum necessarily expended on an article which now costs, nothing. The same is the case when necessaries of any sort increase 'in price. The abundance of necessaries must therefore be Considered as essential to national wealth. Now it appears to us, that the distresses Which have over-. taken this country, have arisen from an undue share of , labour bestowed upon comparative superfluities, under , the common idea that if a certain quantity of gold were given for that labour, the workmen engaged in manufac turing these luxuries must necessarily be beneficially .ern played. In consequence of this circumstance, too great a portion of population has been thrown into 'the ma nufactory ; while the Corn Laws, by indulging the supine ness of the farmer, have prevented agriculture from malting any progress to be conloted with that of our ' manuLctures. Xt hit:obvious, therefore, that the produce of the manufactures being increased, hile that of NO culture has remained almost stationary, the former species of produce must necessarily have suffered a depreciation as compared ,with the latter. It appears clear, for these reasons, that the only relief to be expected in our present circumstances, is by an importation of foreign grain in the mean time, and by the gradual employ ment of a greater proportion of the skill, capital, and industry, of the country, in increasing . the agri cultural part of our national wealth. These subjects, from their very nature, are obscure, and can only be thoroughly Understood by their practical applications. We yesterday suggested one such application of the principle here laid down ; and we would suggest several others ; but the ne eisiary imperfection of projects formed without previous experiments, and the little, attention generally paid to any, thing in the shape of a scheme, prevents us from entering into any details of this nature. We content ourselves at present with re-stating our principle, in hopes that it may meet some eye capable of appreciating its consequences, and able perhaps to put it partially to the teat of expe rience. We assert, then, that the Principal cause of the distress in this country is the comparative backwardness of our agriculture as compared with our manufactures. [THE NEW TIMES.] Among the many displays of brilliant oratory and logi cal argument with which the House of Commons and the country were delighted during the last. Session, our read ers will, no doubt, recollect a speech en the state of the currency, in which the night Hon, Secretary for Horne Affairs, speaking of, bank paper, very beautifully illus trated the way in which its issues are affected, by a pros perous and an unproaperons state of trade, by comparing it to a metallic rod, 'which, in hot weather, expands be yond, and in cold weather contracts within,' the limit of rigorous adjustment, threatening, in either extreme, the stability of:the:edifice Which its purpose was to . uphdd.— When an extension to Scotland of the prohibition of the small notes was in contemplation, it became of no small importance to our ,Northern friends, to show by what correctives this vicious teteency was there kept under, and they did So, by pointing to a part of - their prac tice of banking, which has something of the same effect as the counteracting bars in the cases alluded ,to in Mr: Peel's argument. . This is the plan of exchanging at cer tain fixed periods; the notes of one bankfor the notes of another, by which any irregularity of issue is inimediatelT checked. Nov it might doubtless he remarked of this device, that like others of Man 'S finding opt, it has its de fects. For instance, as it is the interest of all banks to get their paper as extensively circulated as possible, half. a-dozen in one town might, without the slightest collusion, extend their issues beyond what the occasions of the district fairly demanded, and being all relatively in the same situ*, teen, the cheek abovementioned would be completely inv. ! 'naive. This would unquestionably be the case, were the banks . sinall, loeal and of limited Capital. But it ought. ne ior to be' forgotten, that though banks, having the same' motives to action as indiViduals, , stash it being their. inte rest to circulate their notes,: it will also be their aunt to eireidate then; ' still, no bank that has / the moans of fq• , ... ing, Will ever so far give way to this feeling of interest, its to bring those means of paying into hazard. This is the Knot of the system of regulated , issue in Scotland ; not that each hank in a country town exchanges its notes with its neighbour bank, but that there are in Scot 4nd.' three or four establishments of immense w e a lth, ' and of suCh habits .of cautious and prudent dealing, as. immense wealth, never fails to generate in corp r oWe: bodies; and , these thr ee . o r f our a ct as regulators' on all the . rest, which being younger, and buying le" ttf lose, might other Wise break loose into as great extra vagancies as the most. werthless and wasteful of their Southern brethren. This Check,' it is abundantly evi dent, could not be kept up , pital alone. The:danger-of 1 i . It thsciases. must be AA!" d 't by esablishmenta in the ca countere by local remedies; load :hanks must le checke& by branch banks. It is in this war that the. Bank of Scot , land, and a few more, give soundness and safety to the gummy of the most remote districts of that kingdom; ~ and thus the branch banks of ~,,,5,! • 0 1, 4„,,d constitute the i'lnost valuable part of the system ; 'Mid - Until "We imitate. Sr.,otland in that, as well as in other parts of their ma- . , chinery bf banking, we cannot expect to reap tie same advantages that they hive done. To whatever causes we may attribule the rise, the progress, the continuance of our commercial distress, one aggravation of it, broad, deep, and lasting, presses itself on the attention of the most careless—the want of credit between merchant and mer chant. And how is this principally kept up ? We have, in a former Paper, pointed out in what relation the banker and the merchant, whose bill he discounts, stand to each other, namely, that the former acts as the surety of the latter, by interposing between the merchant and the public the guarantee of Ins name, and that this is all that is done when the banker exchanges his notes for the bills of the merchant; and we showed that, at every period of distress, in consequence of a certain degree of existing laws, the banker necessarily became scrupulous of interposing that 'guarantee. There is another circum stance which we did not notice, but which mightily aug ments his 'scrupulosity' at present—the necessity, before 1829, of withdrawing the whole of his small notes from circulation. These causes concurring —the banker's fear of loss on the one hand, and his wish to provide for compliance with-the small note bill on the other, unques tionably tend most powerfully to perpetuate our mercantile difficulties; and the lamentable fact, that those difficulties, more or less, experienced all over the country, are most grievously felt in Lancashire, bears us completely out in our views ; for, unless we are utterly misinformed, the backwardness of the bankers to accom, modate (we give no opinion on the propriety or impro priety of this backwardness) is there more strikingly exemplified than in any other district of the country. Now for the r e medy ; and we always, of course, prefer beginning with the worst case ; for the remedy us especially applicable to. Lancashire. Let the Bank of England establish one or more branch banks there .as speedily as possible. Of the evil of over issues there is not, at present, any fear but such branches will relieve the country from as dangerous, we may say, a more dangerous disease than repletion, the disease of in anition under which it is at present sinking. In the first place, the Bank of England has less to fear from casual losses, and may, therefore, act with greater freedom and liberality ; in the second plice, it has nothing to fear from its issues of small' notes proving troublesome, as its re sources are immeasurably removed from all possibility of danger on that head; and lastly, which is the crowning advantage, the guarantee which it affords the merchant is undisputed and indisputable. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.---A young man of education and ad dress, named Gilligan, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having, by false representations, obtained from Mr. Gerock, of Covnhill, the sum of 205., besides eating and drinking for two days. The case, from the evidence, appeared to he as follows : Mr. Gilligan called upon Mr. Gerock, who is a musical instru. Ment maker, and said, " I am the son of Mr. Errald, a gentle. man in Ireland, who does a great deal of business with you." Mr Gerock, who had considerable peCuniary transactions with Mr Errald, immediately invited his supposed son to dinner; the in vitation was accepted, and the prisoner not only dined, but drank tea and supped with the prosecutor. The next day the prisoner was equally obliging, having called at dinner-time, and stayed till supper was over. He added another obligation to that which his company conferred upon Mr. Gerock, by borrowing 11. from him ; he also began to pave the way for more serious contribu tions, by stating, that he had been paying off the sum of 8001. to Messrs. Clements, fin his father. The suspicions of Mr. Gerock, however, were by this time, strongly excited, for he had, in fact, been led to pay a marked attention to the manner in which his guest bath cleared away every thing in the shape of food that was laid before him. An officer was procured, to whom the prisoner acknowledged that his name was Gilligan, and that he had no 111. , lationship to, or acquaintance ' ith, the gentleman whom hot had called radon.. The unfortunate prisoner declared, that ht was led into error by the mere force of starvation, .He was a member of the me dical profession, but be had not eaten a bit for three days before he called upon Mr. Gerock. Mr. Gerock.—Ay, ay, any Lor. He did eat much, vere much. I though I should never ha done helping unt.—(Laughter.)-..-The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. John Knott and his wife, who had been brought before the Loafs Maws on Saturday, charged with having written threat ening letters to ,Mr. William Knott, of Graeechurch-street, brother to the male prisoner, were yesterday finally examined. The male prisoner said he had induced his wife to write the letters, as he was very poor, and his brother was very rich, and had refused to assist The letters were full of quotations front Scripture, and assured the person to whom they were directed, that his brother would ruin his character for ever, by bringing against him publicly charges of the most horrible nature. The Lomas Micros discharged Mrs. Knott, as she said that the had acted under the direction of her husband in writing the let ters, although his Lordship believed she was worse than her hus band. John Knott was then fully comntitted for trial. GUILDHALL.--Mr. Alexander Gouge, one of the contrac tors for paving the city, appeared before Mr. Alderman C. Slam yesterday, to 'answer the complaint of Samuel Fogg, one of the marshalmen, for repairing the carriage-way in Fish-street-hill in the middle of the day, against the provisions of the City Sewers' Act, which enacts, that the pavements in certain streets; naming Pa-street-bill among others, shall be repaired only between the hours of six in evening and eight its the morning. Fogg not making his appearance in due time, Mr. Alderman Wood stepped forward and admitted that he himself was really the complainant in this case, the marshalman acting merely under his directions. There was not a street in the world, he said, where such a number of persons and vehicles were passing between the hours of , tbreeaud five in the afternoon as on Fish-street-hill, and it was quite rextraordinary that the,yery persons to violate so tot lutary a regulation as that concerning the hours for repairing the streets should be the Commissioners of Sewers---a part of the very body that .had sought for the •enactrnent in questton. He took considerable pains to get the ACt passed, and there was not a mem ber in the Parliamentary Committee. on the Bill who' was not de lighted with the regulation* respecting , paving. The inconve nience that must arise from repairing the roads in the day-time, iu such a thoroughfare, was sufheiently obvious ; and it was the more inexcusable now, as it was light 'enough for • such work at two o'clock in the morning. He asked Mr. Gouge if the repairs were going on that time. The defendant replied they were. Mr. Alderman Wood siafd, then that was shameful: Mr. totike had begged on Saturday that the case should stand over till this day, and it 'was allowed, on the understanding that the. working by day should be discontinued in the interim. He should. press, therefore, for a conviction. Mr. Gouge stated he had persevered under the sanction of the Commissioners of Sewers of the Ward. Mr. Deputy Saunders said the local Commissioners felt them selves aggrieved at the interference of the worthy Alderman. The very next clause to that which orders the repairs to be done within certain hours, provides, that in every case in which there shall be an immediate anti urgent necessity, the local Commissionere may, under their hands, authorise the continuance of the working tin ongh the day, they reporting their reasons for such licence to the Court of Commissioners at their first meeting. He therefore felt him self justified incompleiOing that the Alderman had interfered im properly with a discretion'' they were exercising agreeably to law. They had given Mr. Gouge their authority to work by day.. , Mr. Alderman Sstrrit—You have not stated why. Mr, Saunders-,--We shall report the cause to-morrow to th e Court of Commissioners, as direeted by the itet. Mr. Alderman Surru—But what w" Me. Saunders—That the state of :the pavement was such as to endanger the lives of every one passing over it. Mr. Alderman Wood—That is no reason. The s in an t l i e le reir d s a o . n . would have existed on Ludgate-hill, but, ye t t h a t "a paved in the nig s h i t, r. fr sh om un o d i t te rs_ end ß t r o id r a t r t rt , about a l‘ m i,A nn d t a h m a imi go. time# but. Mr. APA,darn war a f e eourite just then, and was not interfered with. Mr. Alderman Wood said, the discretion vested in the local Cronmistdotters only reached cases of the sewer falli ng in, p ip e bursting,' &e.. . Mr. Gouge put in his written authority from the Commitoion ere, and Mr. Alderman Wood expressed hinuelf dis Pissed to with- draw his complaint if the pavers would work by Hight as well as by day. Mr,4khlernians?,lllll, however, said, that as a member of the Legislature he Would not truffei tiny set of ltieit , CAOinnilisionets to fly in the face of an Act of Parliament. The regulation was A i• j . a most wholesome one, and for the breach Of .he wou nd not the defendant 101.—Mr. Gouge immediately paid the fine. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Yesterday a young man named Alfred Misnell, an apprentice in the service of Mr. Dia mond, a hair-dresser in Bond-street, was brought before Mr. Roz, charged with assaulting a black youth, a native of Africa, sinned Abdallah Delbeado. It appeared •by the statement' of Mr. Dia mond, that this black youth was brought to this countty about 10 mouths ago by that enterprizing traveller, Major Denham, from the interior of Africa, his native country, and that Major Denham having had occasion lately to take his departure from London for some time, and wishing to have every care taken of the youth in his absence, he placed him under the charge of Mr. Diamond. Mr. Roe questioned the black boy as to any idea he might en tertain of the nature or obligation of an oath, or of the Christian religion ; but although the youth spoke the English language a little, it was with great difficulty that he could be snide to under stand the object of the Magistrate's inquiries. It was, however, at length ascertained that he never had been baptized according to the Christian rites, but that he was brought up in, aad still be longs to, the Mahornetan religion. The Magistrate next endeavoured to extract from him what the form of oath was as practised. in his native part of Africa, but he could not be made to comprehend this question ; and if he could, and was ready to be sworn on the Koran, it was found that there was no such religious work belonging to the office, its swearing -books being confined to the New and the Old Tes tament : one question was, however, put to the youth on the subject of truth and falsehood, which he answered very satisfacto rily, that is, provided he understood the question and the answer when he gave it. He was asked if he knew whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to tell a lie ? and his answer was-- " Very bad thing." ' Mr. Ros: asked if Major Denham was not likely to he in London soon, that he might attend lied adminiater the oath or obligation to the youth according to the form and custom of his own country. Mr. Diamond said, that Major Denham was not, likely to be in town for some time. Under these circumstances, there being no witness to the assault upon the black youth, the charge could not be properly investigated. The foreman of Mr. Diamond, however, being sworn, stated that he had repeatedly heard Misitiell, the apprentice, declare ven geance against Mr. Diamond and 'lsis whole family, and that no thing would give hint greater pleasure than to see the house on fire, and the whole of Mr. Diamond's family consumed in it. Mr. Ron ordered the prisoner to find bail, to answer any charge that might be preferred against'hins at the Sessions. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Mrs. Sarah Anne Lid dell, of No. 20, Duke-street, Portland-place, accompanied by her daughter, Clara Balfour, a very young female of very in teresting appearance and address, requested Mr. Rawlinson's ad vice. She stated that her daughter was married to a person named James Balfour, who treated her very ill. "Married !" said Mr. RawttesorT, "why, what age is she?" Mrs. Liddell---She is 16, Sir, and has been married above two years. Mr. ItAwLtsrsorl—How came you to let her marry at that age? Has she no father ? Mrs. Liddell—Her father is dead, and I was not consulted ; they got her from home one Sunday morning, took her to St. Giles's church, where the basins had been published without my know ledge, and married her. Mr. RAWLINSON—IS there any family? Mrs. Liddell—There has been one child, but it is dead. Mr. RAWLINSON—Where does Balfour live. Mt*. Liddell—He has no settled residence or occupation. I found her in the greatest distress at Walworth six weeks ago ; I brought her home, and am willing to maintain her, but her hus band insists on having her back : I hope your worship will pre vent his being troublesome. Mr. RawLissost (to the young lady.)—How came you to marry in this way ? Clara. —Three years ago last Good Friday I went in the even ing to Hinde-street chapel ; Mr. Balfour was put into the same pew ; he paid me attention, gave me a hymn-book, and followed me home. This was the first time I ever saw him. After that he used to watch for use, and follow me about, particularly on Sundays. I did not think his intentions were serious, but 1 mentioned it to my soother; and she rent me to school for a twelvemonth out of his way. After I returned from school, one Sunday morning he took no, off to 'kin friends, who advised me to merry, and I went to church with him. I thought I should then be free from him, and come home, and live there until I was of age. Mri. Liddell said, Balfour once called upon her ; he is upwards of 30 ; and she was so disgusted with him, that she intended to send her daughter to France to complete ber education, and break off the connexion. As the marriage was contracted without parental consent, Mr. RAwuassoN did not doubt it might he set aside if proper steps were taken. He advised Mrs. Liddell to set Balfour at defiance, and if he became troublesome, assistance should be rendered from ;he Police-offiee. SHIPPING►' INTELLIGENCE. EAST INDIA.
